Largest yam producing countries 2024

Yams are a whole thing and the 2024 numbers from FAOSTAT make that pretty clear. Nigeria topped everyone with 65,322,031.57 tonnes, then Ghana landed at 10,113,000 tonnes and Côte d'Ivoire held third with 7,661,000 tonnes. Benin put up 3,400,000 tonnes, Togo hit 982,384 tonnes, and India was right there at 977,000 tonnes. Cameroon reached 541,648 tonnes, Colombia recorded 408,944 tonnes, Papua New Guinea came in at 385,041 tonnes, and Guinea rounded it out with 326,092 tonnes. That dataset covers production through 2024, but heads up, a chunk of those figures are estimates or imputed rather than independently measured, so don't treat them like lab results
